The victim said he was cleaning his business’s storefront between 20th Avenue and Bay 26th Street at 11:30 am when the two goons came up and pulled a gun.
The dastardly duo tried to force him back into the store, but the proprietor began to shout for the police, making the would-be thieves so nervous they took off, according to cops.
